Shopping for what one might consider superior or preferable genetic material is an absolute individual right.

Preposterously hyperbolic assertion.

Oh, so you believe that the authorities have a legitimate power to select mates for people.

(Note that I use a period, not a question mark. This statement is not debatable, as it follows by inescapable logic from your position.)

[fromscratchmom]

well, you were right. (no matter what a weird response you got)

It's a fair description of human mating patterns since the beginning of time.

So a woman isn't allowed to reject a suitor because she thinks said suitor would make a poor father, or has some physical trait she'd rather her kids not inherit?

Some people have selected mates based on their perceived genetic material for a long time. All the new technology is doing is allowing people to make the same selections without actually having to live with the person. It's cold, crass and calculating, but it's nothing really new.
